Slow Shutter Speed & Light Streaks

One of the most appealing aspects of photography is being able to record, in one single frame, more than the human eye can see. We can do this in a few ways like double exposure, hidden reflections and creative use of bokeh (the blurry bits of an image). But one of my favourite tricks is using a slow shutter speed mixed with subject movement.

I’ve used this technique in many ways over the years, starting with event photography and off-camera flash and tinkering with it along the way. Here are a few examples from some of my more creative shoots. I'm looking forward to using these techniques in some upcoming projects too, so keep an eye out for things to come!
